It is something OpenedHand is working on and will continue to work on, not least because maintaining a patch like that is painful. I can near enough guarantee we will end up porting it to new gtk versions, I just can't guarantee how quickly we'll do that. > (Oh, and if someone has free big-guy-from-the-industry's hat, please > let me know ;-) ). > > >> .

I can also confirm that patch works well for QVGA. I'm not sure about screenshots but qemu poky images are available from http://pokylinux.org/autobuild/poky/ and have a screenshot utility! I would make one but I don't have a suitable image handy :(. Cheers, Richard
